This is my Maschine... There are many like it, but this one is MINE. My machine is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My machine without me is useless. Without my machine, I am useless. I must use my machine wisely. I must move swifter than my opponent who is trying to defeat me. I must defeat him before he defeats me. I will... My Maschine and myself know that what counts in battles is not the bass we bump, the noise of our beats, nor the deep melodies. We know it is the passion that counts. We will proceed... My machine is human, even as I because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a weapon. I will learn its weaknesses, its strengths, its settings, its accessories, its size, and its pad feel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of opponents in battle. I will keep my machine awake and ready, even as I am awake and ready. We will become part of each other. We will proceed... Before music, I swear these words. My machine and myself are the defenders of my fears. We are the masters of our dreams. We are the saviours of my life. So be it, until there is no opponent, but Beats.

I bet you one thing if we all threw out problems in a pile id take mine back with a smile on my face and a warm embrace the human race has got me twisted But i keep it together by blowing clouds like the weather With my head up I move forward with caution Threw the storm with one goal TO WIN... Never giving in to the system But I must insist we beat them Peal the wax back from our eyes realise threw the lies No matter how hard we try things remain the same Not ourselves to blame But we gotta learn to play the game Like chess and never rest til we feel our best Cant resist that THC bliss In a swisher sweet its hard to beat This is just me beiing me im finally free To achieve in what i believe in The things that make me breath sat breathin The things that make me who I am These things are w hat makes us who we are when life goes off the tracks These things are what makes us who we are when life goes off the tracks Im derailed.... I feel like I bailed out Even though im working hard Towards a goal in mind I cant find the time to catch up with my finances these are unforgiving circumstances taking chances with new romances my heart beat dances as my my life goes of the tracks Gettin taxed left and right Its just not right And we dont even put up a fight Its clear as day and bright like the sun Thats why I have fun when I can And fight like a man when I must Trust isnt easy earned But the weeds easily burned And I yurn for things that I simply cannot have Out of my reach and far too far to grab But im glad cuz i d rather earn it and im a giver not a taker a learner not a faker a sharer not a grabber cuz These things are what makes us who we are when life goes off the tracks These things are what makes us who we are when life goes off the tracks

No more anticipation Because I know what I am facing So much times been wasted With so much useless hatred I can almost taste it Change lanes quick Traffics come to a stop and I dont want to get off This roller coaster Got my hopes up Barely coping Going through my days Walking a tight rope Wrapped around my neck with the belief that'll forget Too much stress Anxiety Society Seems to have gotten to me I once felt free but now Im me Trapped in the system No identity Important people in my life have forgotten me But not me you see You are all apart of me and you made me who I am The man that stands On his own to feet With a life filled with goals to complete Im a beast With a meal on which I will feast I rome the streets A roag man with no plan Other than to support the fam Until the end I got your back Backpack on On a mission to be famous Strangers once But now best friends Cant make rent If I got the ends I got you One life to live Might as well live true If it was up to me I'd be you And you'd be me So we can see what its like To leed someone elses life Through their eyes The thoughts in their minds So powerful it can slow down time Time and time again losin a friend Holes and gaps made that you cant mend Momenets of memories you can't forget But down't sweat it its how things happen to be As the leaves fall from the tree One day youll no longer breath So live it up And just dont give a fuck Buy a bunch of weed and smoke that shit up But just dont test your luck Because one day it will run out Like a drought when the clouds drew So thirsty I started to spew All over the crew All over you too But I really dont give a shit Because I put it on YouTube And now Im standing Rockin crowds loud Until i pass out Hearts are cold Hearts in black and as a matter of fact I can handle that And as I grow older My heart grows colder My heart will always remain in black And thats a matter of fact because I work hard and pay my taxes day in and day out But I come home With nothing to show for it Colder porrage In the morning Got me yawning Lifes boring And Im snoring at night time while I write rhymes In my minds eye Im gunna keep tryin Until the day that I die Defy the laws of gravity People try stabbing me But it just bounces off my skin you see Im like super man Some crazy Marvel comic Exman super hero Whats the deal yo Everytime you come around You aint got no indo No smoke No joke Get the hell out Before I start to wil' out Like a rockwiller dog with its jaws and its teeth out Gnawing at your legs So hard that you bounced out And forgot what the robbery was all about Because no doubt Karma hunts you And if karma wants you Karma will seek out and found you It just takes time foo And every dog will have its day As every day has its night Get in a fist fight because you know its right right, right Every story has an ending And this one is mine Hearts are cold Hearts in black and as a matter of fact I can handle that So I rap fast and blast past the average man Chop off his head and Stuff it inside of a trash can Cuz Ill be god damned If this shit wasn't planned man What the hell is happenin Why am I even rapping Why an I standing here Why am I looking out of the window Why is the sky blue and the grass green? Wh am I mean To my mom and dad I dont know Im just glad that lifes working out the way that it is And I dont give a shit Because the shit that I spit Is never been write Im legit on the microphone I come from the dome from the east to the west never smokin that stress Never hesitate to get thebest greens Inside on my body Inside of my lungs As I sit back And blast into another universe Before I see myself put into a hurse I will rehearse All my verses And spit that shit on a stage with rage But until then Ill work until i get paid So I can build my studio and Chill in the shade Have it made get laid anytime I want While im smoking and passing around a blunt Always on the hunt For the next dope sample And this beats a sample And for example If you see waht I do Youd know that I Do it fluidly without even thinking Without even blinking vomiting in the sink from too much drinking Now its affecting my health So im gunna remain stealth Under the radar Smoke a cigar with weed inside and This is how I do it While my thaughts collid with my minds eye Hearts are cold Hearts in black and as a matter of fact I can handle that

HOOK I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history VERSE I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I got a story... something to say About my family It was 1 partridge street South Africa Johannesburg to be exact 3 brothers put up on the map We had each others back and still do And we know its true I'd take a bullet for either one of you Im so proud of you And everything we've accomplished This is more than we all could have wished But its true Life is good No more blues Unless its in a booze bar smoking a cigar Talking about the long drives To Cape Town acting like clowns Until we get the beat down from mom Now dont get me wrong I'd take each beat down again The way that I was raised gave me a solid foundation HOOK I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history VERSE No need for an explaination We live without expectation all while facing our demons But the story goes on So I captured a small piece of it inside of this song Remember when mom and dad where gone Sitting on the couch with a magnifying glass Letting time pass while we laughed Until it ignited Now no ones laughing We tried to cover it up But we got caught up Cuz our mom always knew what was up She was tuned in But inside our house There was love in abundance Gifts under the Christmas tree Protection from the thunder A roof over our head see Our dad provided and guided 3 boys to manhood get that understood We're all free thinkers Drinkers we are not But sometimes I smoke pot The black sheep just got caught But hey... there always gotta be one Like Obi Wan Kenobi HOOK I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history BRIDGE OUTRO 1 HOOK I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history I remember it like it was yesterday And before the hair on my head turns grey And I suddenly loose every memory I want to capture a piece of history

Intro Somewhere over the rainbow... Verse 1 I work hard I deserve a little pay back A big pat on the back and as a matter of fact As I stack the chips I have But im still hungry I still smell money Its kind of funny Its like it shines the sun on me I have a destination to meet with uncertaincy it almost hurts me But lately nothing matters to me you see You start to feel knub til you cant feel your feet You feel beat so you drop beats just to eat It steels the soul from you You change your ways and loose your crew It was a choice It was either them or you Too much booze makes the time cruise by Bye bye for now, Im off to rock a crowd Bought a one way ticket out Its time to break these walls.... Down and travel down town Elevated in the shade from the sun rays getting paid Chorus Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I flip the switch Cuz im Manny Partridge I make the oceans part bitch Im like Moses And everyone knows this Im even glowing Knowledge flowing From my domb and Understand Im a wise man And money making is my only plan No plan B Its unimaginable to me and clearly Im in a differnt league People pleed and they pleed Got you beggin on your knees Wishing you were me But Im rooted deep In a system currput and I dont give a fuck Cuz Im stackin it up And Im rackin it up Like Scroog Mc Duck Bills, I got em but theyre covered Even people under cover In my black SUV I go where ever I want to be Im finally free Worked hard all my life for my money Now its time for you to pay me Chorus Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...) I said Pay me, i said pay me bitch Cuz if you dont I will flip the switch (Electric...)

I found myself walkin a path all all alone and then I realised Ive been saved by my own rage As I spill words on a page after page through the chapters of life We fight for our place in this battle Rattle the cages for all ages Engaging in this time to be relevant Im heaven sent My times well spent With the people that matter Chatter then scatter Brain matter all over the matress She was my mistress But she mis dressed To impress the next guest She did all night without rest Not impressed Felt depressed From stress Needed a release So I smoked some weed Guaranteed to exceed The agreed dosage Its explosive Corrosive and eroding thoughts unloading HOOK While they try decoding I waste my time experiencing Even the simplest of things Hearing birds singing In the morning Life never gets boring Just look through the fog Clear vision now And I dont know how I ever get down Maybe its the come down (snap) Back to reality As it happens to be People depend on me Got ends to meet Mouths to feed Avoid the greed Work to eat Hands that bleed Dreams we need Feed the beast Peace at least But we’re greedy human beings Evil deeds to skip ahead Forgot where you came from And where you're going Showin g your true colours I thought we were brothers And sisters existing But we’re dismissing the true meaning And all the real feelings Stripping out the soul.

As I stare in the the sky Not a care in the world for this guy Why? Because you're in my life And it feels so right The futures looking bright And the moment you walk out my door My heart aces for more I want you by my side All throughout the night And when the sun rises We can stare in to each other eyes and Wonder what the other is thinkin Its that feelin that you just cant kick Like blowing out the candles and making a wish But mine came true the moment I feel in love with you I knew it was true And that Id do anything for you All you gotta do is ask And Ill drop everything to be there Without a care in the world Im proud that your my girl And excited to see where this goes Like the river flows This is fate as the wind blows As I look into your beautful brown eyes With my hands on your thighs While the time passes in the night I wouldnt want to be anywhere then right here To catch your tears And help you face your fears Catch you when you're falling Warm you when you're cold Starting with your toes all the way to your nose All I want it you And everything that comes with you You make me numb when you tickle my stomach But I love it Like I love you And I hope you know this is true Whatever the path We'll see it threw and threw Ill be standing right there next to you So lets lay on our backs and stare at the stars Share stories and have a laugh We have one life to live So this is it Sleepless nights with out you It gets harder and harder with the days between us two

about

A few years ago, I moved to the UK from California. In doing so, life changed drastically. I spent years of my life building a recording studio and a network of artists I worked with. When I moved here I lost the ability to just pick up the phone and call an Emcee to come to the studio and write and record a track. Since I spent so many years of my life mastering my craft of making beats and recording, I didn't want to fall behind and let that hard work go to waste.

I decided to continue making beats and decided to start writing song and recording to keep learning my craft as an engineer and producer. That is when this project was born.

Over the past 5 years, I have been through thick and thin and learnt a lot about myself along the way. I realised that when all hope seems to be lost, all you have to do is dig deep inside yourself and you will find what you are searching for. I have put too much behind me and decided to move forward and enjoy what life offers.

By no means do I claim to be an emcee or a rapper, but I am proud of the work I have done on this project. I am finally deciding to share my body of work and open up a part of myself to you all. The album is titled 'I am a Machine because that is exactly what I am... A Machine! When I put my mind to something I can do it. That is what this project stands for and represents.

I hope you enjoy it and I would love to hear feedback, positive or negative. I just brush the negative off anyway. After all, "A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinions of sheep!"

This is my journey, my musical journal and my story. If you don't know me, now you do.

Sit back and enjoy. Share if you like it. If you don't that is fine too.
